FH Aachen but no N
What does "FH Aachen" sound like?
Prof. Dr. Christoph Weigand composes "FH Aache but no N".
In the 2022 | 01 issue of the university magazine "Dimensionen", Prof. Dr. Gisela Maercker, professor of mathematics, and Prof. Dr. Jürgen Tietze and Prof. Dr. Christoph Weigand, professors of mathematics, talk about the connection between maths and music - because all three of them play music alongside mathematics.

In conversation, Prof. Weigand reports: "I had another crazy idea ...". When he looked at the terms "FH Aachen" and "FH-AC", he noticed that all the letters - except for the n - correspond to a grade. So what did he do? "I set the FH Aachen to music, so to speak, by handcuffing myself while composing to only allow the note sequences F, H, A, A, C, H, E or F, H, A, C as the melody voice."

And now it's up to you!
There are many enthusiastic musicians at FH Aachen, especially in our big band "Full House", the jazz combo and our choir - and of course also among you, dear readers, and your friends and acquaintances. We would be delighted if you would now accept the challenge, in line with Prof. Weigand's idea, and also compose a piece that only serves the FH Aachen grades. And if you need some inspiration for it, no problem: Prof. Weigand will provide you with the sheet music for download here.
We would be pleased if you could send us a sample of your specially composed piece by recording how you play it on a video: team-pressestellefh-aachen.de.
